The Flirting with Forty release party at Bellevue’s Barnes & Noble was great fun last night. We had about 70 people attend the bookstore event and about the same number drop in at Ooba Tooba’s for the Mai Tais and music, although not everyone attended both. Lots of the guys skipped the bookstore reading (can’t […]

Bra Hopping
The Flirting with Forty book release party is just two days away and I had a list of endless errands to get done today, among them buying more drink cups, order blown up book covers at Kinko’s, deliver vases to florist for tropical arrangements, and confirm with the musicians, a Hawaiian trio composed of University […]
Cats That Kiss
My kids have returned from Hawaii to Seattle, I remain in Hawaii for one last week, Flirting with Forty is already shipping from Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and the Hawaii house has a kitten that thinks it is not a cat. I think I get cranky in Hawaii because I don’t sleep as well […]
Don’t Know What
But I’m sure as heck having a hard time with it. And so maybe it’s just a control issue, maybe it’s my head, maybe I need happy pills, or maybe I really am more crazy than I’d hoped, but whatever it is, its impossible. I’m impossible. I’m sensitive and impatient and frustrated and insecure. I’m […]
Giving Credit
I had a wonderful weekend. Really, truly. And part of it is the gorgeous weather we’re enjoying in the Pacific Northwest. Sunny, sunny days. Warm clear nights. Highs in the mid 80s. And this is only the middle of May. But what made the weekend truly wonderful was Ty flying in from Hawaii and doing […]
Women & Story
Last week I was pushing hard to finish a book before hopping on a plane for Honolulu to participate in Hawaii’s first Book & Music Festival. I’d been scheduled months earlier to speak but the topic hadn’t been firmed up until two weeks prior and only then was it decided that I’d address, ‘Why Women […]
Gouda Gets Married
While I’m in Bellevue trying to write a book in 14 days, Ty’s in Hawaii building his business and taking care of his pet. Make that pets. It seems while Ty was here last weekend helping me with the injured puppy, Gouda got married. Don’t remember Gouda? It’s the Hawaii house’s resident mouse. Gouda is […]
Need My Wheaties
The new puppy has definitely been challenging. She just returned home from the puppy hospital having had eye surgery today for her cherry eye that turned into a bleeding eye-sore. The brown patch over one eye was cute. The red patch over the right eye less adorable. The neighborhood children stopped coming over to see […]
Mice Are Nice
I’m dating Doctor Doolittle. And it’s a challenge. Boyfriend Ty is great with kids and animals. If you’ve got a youngster that wants to learn to surf–Ty’s your instructor. And if you’ve a mouse in your house, it will live there forever. It will be named. And fed. And talked to. And encouraged. Even if […]
Upside Down Romance
Yesterday the reporter/producer and cameraman from Seattlle King 5’s ‘Evening Magazine’ show returned to my house to finish filming the segment they’re doing on me that airs 7 pm, February 23rd. In Hawaii last weekend they filmed Ty giving me a surfing lesson, including the land lesson, and then later, interviewed us as the sun […]
